The letter kills

"Who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life." 2 Corinthians 3.6
The abundance of biblical knowledge can give a feeling of well being. If, however, this knowledge is not practiced, it only serves as a witness against you him on the Day of Judgment. The knowledge of the Word sets one free when it is practiced. By practicing it, the Spirit of God works.
Otherwise, what good is to know it? Who in this world knows the Bible better than satan?

Do not fear

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand." Isaiah 41.10
Throughout the Bible we find the the advice not to fear 366 times. One for each day of the year, including the leap year. But if the Spirit of God used His servants to stimulate the fearlessness and courage as our daily bread, then let us live in this faith. He promises to be with us, strengthen us and sustain us regardless of the circumstances.

Infirmities

"Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted." Isaiah 53.4
Those who know the Bible knows that the Lord Jesus has already taken all of  our infirmities and diseases. However, few are those who know how to take possession of this right. To accept it and take it without any fear or concern for medical examinations is a matter of faith that has nothing to do with the senses.

Resentment

"He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked." 1 John 2.6
What is the point in confessing Jesus as Savior, be diligent in church, read the Bible, pray and fast, but at the same time, resent someone? Does this behavior has anything to do with Jesus? Is it possible to love God and hold grudges against anyone? Is this walking as Jesus walked?
"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." Matthew 6.14

Who is who

"But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His." Romans 8.9
In my view, this is one of the most incisive biblical statements. It does not leave room to doubts or discussion. Those who have been possessed by the Spirit of God are so different from those who have not, just as the difference between wine and milk. The behavior of each one bears witness to who is who.

HEAR

"Thus says the Lord God:’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house'."         Ezekiel 3.27
The Holy Bible can be summed up in two words: listen and obey. Those who have spiritual ears listen and obey. Not only do they listen, but they also obey.
Those who disobey are rebellious just like Lucifer was and will suffer the consequences of their rebelliousness.

OUR DAILY BREAD

"Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? He who walks uprightly, and works righteously, and speaks the truth in his heart..."      Psalm 15.1-2
The word RIGHTEOUSNESS is written 371 times in the Bible. RIGHTEOUSNESS is the foundation of the Almighty's Throne. What does this have to do with mankind? No one that lives unrighteously can contemplate the face of God. This is why the Holy Spirit confirms that the wages of sin is death.

THE BEGINNING OF KNOWLEDGE

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction."        Proverbs 1:7
   Do you want to avoid making mistakes. Do you want peace? Do you want direction in all aspects of your life? Do you want to be happy? Then put this into practice:
   Don't walk in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful. Instead, take pleasure in reading the Word of God and meditate about it day and night. 
   Follow these steps and you will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaves do not whither and whatever he does is successful.

JUSTICE

"Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ..."   Romans 5:1
Do you want to have peace with God?
This will only happen after your faith is solely in His Son.
Do you want the remission of your sins?
This will only happen  after your faith is solely in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Do you want to be found righteous before God?
This will only happen after your faith is solely in His Son.
Not simply accepting His existence. But possessing the kind of faith that is steadfast and rightly practiced according to the Holy Bible. John 7:38
The kind of faith that destroys the rules and principles of this religious and dark world.
The kind of faith that is willing to sacrifice it's own will in order to obey Him.

Hidden

"He reveals deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells with Him."
Daniel 2:22


In the same way that one needs to dig the earth for precious stones, so is the Word of God, hidden treasure. Even in darkness, if sought, its Light is revealed.

Word

"So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."
Isaiah 55:11

The Word of God is given so it may be used as a defensive tool for your faith. Besides the spirit and live that it transmits, it cleans useless and vain thoughts in our minds.

Inclination

"For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit." Romans 8:5

Even upon fulfilling daily obligations, one shouldn't despise the Word of God, the Fountain of Life. Just like the body needs food, the spirit needs the Word that comes from the mouth of God.
